My 2 year old son is OBSESSED with this compilation. Thank you for your efforts in creating this.

[bleepblorp]

I have a sick 2 year old and this video has been a godsend for taking his mind off things

[MAXIMUSGAMEPLAY]

As someone who grew up with Thomas & Friends this video is magical

[caryltaylor]

As a littlfe girl I used to go to the station with my boy cousins, packet of sandwiches, notebook and pencil, stayed all day train spotting. That was in Grantham and we regularly saw the Flying Scotsman rushing through, pounding in my chest, station shaking, whistle blowing. So exciting. Never forgotten it

[elliottadamson]

Steam trains shall live forevere most goodest thing mankind made! I'm happy for the prezurved trains that survived the 50s and 60s

As most 2 year old my son loves trains, but his love seems to go that little bit further. He gets so happy with tears in his eyes seeing these trains. Thanks for the video

[kmarcucci]

I love watching and hearing old steam trains, They are a beautiful piece of machinery.

[acricucci]

Splendid video! I'm an American old lady & my dad worked for RRs from age 17 to his retirement. By age 5 I knew the names of all the freight cars and grew up riding steam trains around the U.S. I loved the smell of the coaches & sound of the engine idling in the station. Oh I miss those days! I will watch this video many times!

[johnbeck]

Well done to all involved in this excellent clip! The magic of steam stays forever in one's blood, one's eyes, one's ears and one's nostrils! I am an eighty-year-young and proud South African, and watched our excellent steam trains regularly as they chuffed their suburban way from Simon's Town station to Cape Town station (slightly uphill) with their inimitable, hard-working chuffing which my grandmother explained was "I think I can, I think I can I think I can". The trains from Cape Town station to Simon's Town station (slightly downhill) chuffed a very different, faster language: " I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I could". What wonderful memories!

Black queens are always gorgeous and charming with white steams and green background.
Beautiful videography. Thanks a lot.

This video has saved my Sanity so many times since the summer. My 3 year old is obsessed with steam trains (much to his grandpa's delight!) and this video has given me a quiet hour on many occasions, so thank you!

[TracksideGoober]

I can’t sleep without something I’m voluntarily listening to. this has been a real lifesaver for me and bonus my dreams now seem to have steam locomotives in them now

[earllutz]

I read one comment that said at the beginning "A fine collection of British Steam". So my comment sort of fits with that one, and my comment is that I really enjoy hearing that high-schrill Whistle, which sounds British. Thank you for the wonderful video.

[jeannettejackson]

So beautiful. Nothing like that whistle and the train rounding on the track with all the steam trailing behind. I love watching them. Thank you.

[johnlannom]

Really enjoyed your collection.  Nothing like a steam locomotive underway!!!  As a young 18 year old GI in South Korea just after end of WWII I was terribly cold.  So found a steam locomotive and climbed on board.  We were headed for Pusan.  W.  as warm all the way but really choked as we went through a long tunnel (seemed if it was uphill).  Had several trips from Pusan to Taegu by simply climbing into the locomotive cab, smiling at the crew and offering my flashlight ( check axels) and American cigarettes. Keep up the good work.  john lannom

What human garbage disliked this? The photography and sound is excellent, and you can watch it from anywhere on the planet, for free! Thank you so much for making and sharing this, EXCELLENT WORK!

[johnmutti]

A magnificent collection of British Steam, exceptionally filmed in fantastic locations. Thanking you for sharing your passion with the world of steam train lovers.

[briantitchener]

Excellent job of capturing British loco's in HD. Takes me back to my train-spotting days in the 1960's on the Southern Railway. Saw a few of these actual loco's back in the day! Great stuff. Well done and thanks for the memories.

[johnroberts]

Absolutely superb compilation. Brings back so many memories, especially the Merchant Navy class loco's Thanks for a wonderful post.
